I need you help/advice. This spring I plan on pulling my stock 1955.1 rear end on my truck and would like to swap in the easiest/cheapest possible donor. I have a reliable and credible buddy who will be assisting me in the procedure. Right not the stock rear end is running 3.90 gears with a 283 small block up front with a 4 speed saginaw tranny on the floor. I am keeping the motor and tranny but what to change the rear end so that I am not beating the motor to death running 60-65. Ideally the new rear end would allow me to do 75-80mph. I want to keep the 6 lug pattern on the rear end as well.

Please ole stovebolt brothers and sisters any input/direction/guidance/suggestions will be pondered and appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
